Chapter 590 The furnace

At dawn, when the sky was bright, Li Yi's troops also began to intersperse. The Song army was fighting the war that he was determined to win in an orderly manner according to Di Qing's previous deployment.

The Japanese people were just the opposite. Faced with the Song army's successive punches, their bravery was obviously a little unbearable. The troops on the front line were all in chaos, and the troops behind still did not make a decision on whether to fight or flee.

"Your Highness, let's retreat now. Now we can resist guarding the coast when retreating to Honshu Island. The Song army's fleet has not arrived yet, so they dare not attack rashly." Fujiwara Kindsanro's tone was a little anxious. He vaguely felt that the Song army had a big appetite this time. If the Japanese troops still resisted here, the consequences might be unimaginable.

Prince Zunren was already annoyed by the failed news that the front line kept sending. When Fujiwara Kunsanro said this, he was even more angry: "Fujiwara Jun! What are you going to do? It was your Fujiwara family who said that they could not fight. Now you said that we can't fight? In this case, what are we doing here? Are you watching more than 100,000 samurai die?"

Fujiwara Kunsaburo was very anxious and concentrated his efforts to drive the Song people into the sea. It was indeed their Fujiwara family's attention, but that was not his opinion. There were many people in the Fujiwara family. Fujiwara Kunsaburo was at home for the rest of his life, and he often did errands, but he wanted to make an idea, but now he was not worth enough.

From the beginning, he believed that Japan's wisest choice now is to guard Honshu Island and Kyoto, and then start negotiations with the Song Dynasty and start immediately. However, his opinion was opposed by many people. Most of the people in the Fujiwara family were samurai. They believed that if they wanted peace without fighting, it would be a serious blow to the dignity of the samurai. It would also have a great negative impact on the current reputation of the Fujiwara Shogunate.

Fujiwara Kissarou knew that what they said made sense, including Fujiwara Raitong, whom he respected the most, was this opinion. But Fujiwara Kissarou knew even more that in this world, things that were not justified are correct.

He now knows that the one who started this war was Chen Shimei who said confidently to him that he would establish diplomatic relations with Japan soon! This guy is no worse than himself in his ability to keep a little capital, so it is the capital for future negotiations.

Fujiwara Kunsaburo was sure that Chen Shimei would never return to the Song Dynasty empty-handedly. If the more than 200,000 troops were really wiped out by the Song Dynasty here, then he would not even have the ability to stop Chen Shimei from taking some things.

He looked at the angry Prince Zunren and suddenly shook his head and said, "Your Highness, we are no match for the Song army in position wars. The Song Dynasty has fought for thousands of years, and they have countless military and tactics. They have more than we are doing in how to fight the position war! Do you know what consequences we will face if we throw all these troops on Jiuzhou Island?"

The Song Dynasty's navy had already reached the coast of Japan. They were wandering on the sea, looking for Japanese ships to fight to the decisive battle. But where did Fujiwara Raitong's troops dare to provoke such a giant?

Fujiwara Raitong's plan was to engage in a war of attrition with the Song army on land, and then his fleet attacked the Song army's supply merchant ships, which might delay the pace of the war and gain a favorable position for the Japanese negotiations.

But the current form is that the Japanese on land cannot resist the attack of the Song Dynasty. If they still stick to the original plan at this time, it would be the stupidest choice. Fujiwara Kindsanro believes that the result of the positional war is already very obvious. Once the Song army advances into Honshu Island, Fujiwara Laitong's strategy of attacking the Song army's supply line will become meaningless. He must come back to fight the huge navy of the Song Dynasty, because that will be the last and only opportunity for the Japanese.

Prince Zunren is not a fool, so he naturally understands what he means, but for a prince, he still has a glimmer of hope and is unwilling to accept the failed ending.

Moreover, due to the long-term distrust of the Fujiwara family, when the people of the Fujiwara family say every word, Prince Zunren must think clearly whether this is a trap they set for themselves.

Fujiwara Kishisaburo was a little anxious. He really didn't understand why he didn't let himself lead the army this time, but gave the command to this guy who seemed to be a god in his eyes, but was just a fool in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you have no time to think about it. It's still time to let the troops retreat!" Fujiwara Kindsanro even had the urge to give orders for this fool.

Prince Zunren thought for a long time: "Let's do this, let's send some troops back to see the retreat, and then see the development of the situation, and then make a decision at night. Even if you really want to leave, I think it's safer to leave at night. Does Fujiwara Jun think it's not?"

Fujiwara Kishisaburo was disappointed at first, then had a helpless expression on his face: "Okay, we must send the most elite troops back to guard it."

With Prince Zunren's hesitation and Fujiwara Kishisaburo's abandonment, the Japanese lost their last chance.

The battlefield is still in full swing.

After several hours of continuous fighting, the Song army's physical strength had dropped seriously. Their steps became slower and their arms were no longer as powerful. Even the crossbowman was slower to cast the crossbow.

Under such circumstances, all the Song army soldiers still could not rest. Because the strategic purpose had not been achieved, especially Liu Ping's troops, they had to cheer up and move forward. Before reaching the destination, each unit must move forward and rest in rotation, and the rest time was quite short.

In order to inspire the fighting spirit of the soldiers, the generals all went to the front line.

Dong Kui personally acted as the shield player. He has been away from this character for a long time, but when he picked up the shield, his arms were still so firm.

There were many enemies in front of him, and the shield in his hand was constantly hit by the opponent. In a short while, Dong Kui's arm lost consciousness. A big red bag also appeared on his forehead with a shield.

Nothing that matters, for the shield player, this is not even an injury.

"Press up! Pick up with me!"

Dong Kui shouted wildly, and used all his strength to push forward. He saw a shadow of a Japanese man shaking through the gap in the shield. Logically speaking, the spearmen behind him should have seen it long ago, but no spears stabbed in.

Dong Kui was very surprised. When he looked back, he saw that the brother was actually asleep. While staggeringly running, he was sleeping with his eyes closed. This ability made Dong Kui envious. He turned around and kicked the brother: "Damn it!"

The soldier had just closed his eyes and was woken up by a kick. The spear in his hand subconsciously stabbed forward and almost stabbed Dong Kui.

Dong Kui was very annoyed, but he felt that he couldn't say anything. To be honest, he also wanted to close his eyes and rest for a while, even if it was just a short time. But the enemy was on the other side, and the enemy would not agree to him.

When he was frustrated, he grabbed the soldier's gun with one hand behind him: "Give it to me!"

After saying that, he took the gun over and stabbed it out through the gap in the shield. When he brought it back, blood was dripping from the head of the gun.

"I stabbed! I stabbed!"

The military supervisor had a complicated expression on his face, which was exciting and frightened. This was the first time he stabbed a person with a gun. He had never even killed a chicken before.

Dong Kui smiled: "Good, you are becoming more and more like my brother! Just have another shot!"

When the military supervisor heard what he said, he shot him again, but this time he didn't hit him. Dong Kui said again: "Come again!"

He knew that as long as the military supervisor picked up a gun to kill the enemy, he would be more than just a military supervisor. The military supervisor who went to fight to kill the enemy would be integrated with the soldiers. Because the battlefield is a furnace, it can smelte scrap iron into good steel and also combine everyone's souls!

The military inspector just took the gun, and saw that the soldiers were so tired. He felt sorry for him. Now he was fired, but his head subconsciously listened to Dong Kui's command. Just as he was thinking of another shot, a shield player from the Song army next to him finally couldn't hold on. His whole arm sagged slightly, and in that gap, he was stabbed in by a Japanese man.

The shield hand immediately rushed to the ground, and then the entire shield wall immediately cracked.

When Dong Kui saw that the shield wall was broken, he was not panicked. He put down his shield and pulled out the knife from his waist: "Term the military head as the command, form a formation to fight!"

The soldiers immediately surrounded their army heads, and the sudden change temporarily drove away their sleepiness. The warrior-like contest that Japanese people were expecting finally began.

The battlefield suddenly became bloody. Dong Kui had only more than 2,000 people around him, and the number of enemies in front of him was several times that of them. If he was defending, he believed that the Song army would be able to defend it, but defense was not the Song army's mission.

Dong Kui waved his long sword: "Brothers! Kill them all!"

The military supervisor was stunned for a moment. Taking the military head as the unit, this made him feel a little embarrassed. He didn't know where he should stand in a suitable position. It was at this time when hesitated. Everyone stood in a good position, and he was the only one who stood there blankly with a gun.

This shocked Dong Kui: "Oh no, why did you forget him?"

He hurriedly pulled a personal soldier beside him and whispered: "Go, take a few brothers to send the military supervisor to the back."

The personal soldier nodded and waved his hand to follow the five people. They rushed to the military supervisor all the way. The personal soldier didn't say much, and pulled the military supervisor's hand: "Sir, come with me."

This is the routine every time. In the past, Dong Kui sent the military supervisor down after a fight, and the military supervisor was very happy. So this time he was very happy, nodded, and slowly retreated with the soldiers with a gun.

There was a Japanese warrior who was very sharp-eyed. He saw several Song soldiers escorting a Song Dynasty man dressed differently from those soldiers and walked back. He thought that this might be some high-ranking official from the Song Dynasty. He waved his sword in his hand and pointed at the military supervisor, screaming in anger. Dong Kui couldn't understand anything.

When the Japanese warriors nearby heard him shouting, they immediately understood, abandoned their opponents and rushed towards the military inspector.

Although the soldiers of the Song army tried desperately to intercept along the way, there were too many Japanese troops and it took not long to fight in hand-to-hand combat to the army supervisor.
